Land Purchases in Louisiana
Times Democrat.

Times Democrat.
There has been a marked and in
creased activity in Louisiana lands
since the year began, and the purchases
have been unusually heavy, made for
Investment, not speculation, to be de-
veloped at once by the erection Of
saw mills, or the devotion of the land
to agriculture.
The first investments of the kind in
Louisiana were made some five or six
years ago, by the shrewd spine
barous" " Of Michigan and Wisconsin,
and some million odd acres of the best
timber lands in the State were quietly
bought up by them.
The investments for agricultural
purposes scarcely date before the Ex-
position. A number of Western peo-
pie who came down here to that great
display, pleased with the soil and
climate, took up land in the south
western portion Of the State, where it
was especially cheap, and where it re-
sembled in many respects their home
country, and brought their families
down here. We do not propose to go
over this history of the Iowa colony
again, but simply to call attention to
it as having first demonstrated what
Louisiana was capable of. Land which
had been regarded as far under the
average of fertility, and had, there
fore, been neglected, soon blossomed
into a garden, and it was shown that
the crops Of the West, grain and
grasses, could be grown side by side
with cotton, cane, rice and other
Southern products.
Since then both immigration and
capital have poured into the State
from the West, and large Investments
have been made in lands. These have
been confined to no section or district.
While the Iowans and kansans settled
on the Calcasieu and Attakapas prai-
ries, Illinois syndicates bought land in
the Florida parishes, aud Illinois col
onists established themselves at Ham
mond and other points. North Louis
lana became aroused, and organized
immigration and fair associations.
During the past two weeks the Match
itoches land Office has been very busy
in consequence of the many purchases
OF land made in the Red river country.
All these purchases were made in large
bodies Of $4,000 acres and more for
investment and not for speculation,
the purchasers having been unwilling
to sell. 1t is significant fact and
proof that the present improved values
of land arc not excessive, that the pur-
chases have been much heavier at the
present figures than when few years
ago prices we're much lower,
Already the new purchasers are
making arrangements to utilize and
develop their lands, either for agricul-
tural, horticultural, dairying OF stock
raising purposes, or to cut tho timber
on it and saw it. 1t is quite evident
that Louisiana is about TO still further
increase its industrial activity as soon
as all these lands newly purchased are
brought into use OF cultivation.

Editor Lake Charles Echo
AS the Interstate Agricultural Con-
vention at your city Is nearly approach-
ing, and seeing no probability Of our
section being represented (onr having
to leave on bnsIness) we would again
most respectfully call your and the
public attention to the normal, unde-
veloped merits Of The Bay. We have
thousands Of acres of unsettled, vacant
State land, free from overflow, and Of
fertile soII The range is good, es-
pecially in winter, for cattle, and ex-
cellont for hogs when the mast does
not blight. The Bay Is the highest
table Of land in the country (the water
running either way from it) and the
soil resembles bottom land as does the
growth of timber. There is a strip of
heavily timbered, long strawed, yellow
pine land between The Bay and the
Calcasieu river averaging about two
and a half miles in breadth, distance
Of some 12 or I5 miles up and down
the river. There arc q good many
settlers in the section, but many OF
them happy -go,easy kind Of people,
not owning the lands on which they
live, and making no material advance
toward improving the country nor
their own condition. This is always
the case in new country, where a
scant living is easily made with no
money, little care and less labor and
all Of them are requisite for high
degree Of prosperity, and each item Of
them can be as profitably used here as
any place We know.
Our section lies within the late
Backbone Railroad grant, and should
that company take steps to improve
or enhance the value of its lands, as it
should do, having been given what il
never earned, we shall soon have a
thrifty country. The timber alone is
sufficient to make it a profitable place
for Investment, and the soil for agri-
culture alone sufficient for the same
purpose both combined, with tho
range, could not fail to make well-di-
rectod capital and labor, or either of
them, profitable. The Calcasieu river
has regular width of about $50 feet
in low water and sufficient depth for
running saw logs at all times, except
in unusually long drouths. With one
tenth of the capital expended on the
Black Warrior River in Alabama, TO
make il nayigable in winter to Tusca-
loosa, the Calcasieu could be made
nayigable to, or about, the northern
boundary of the parish, almost the
year round.
We forgot to add that the Calcasieu
swamp is from one to two miles wide
and dotted with small brakes of excel.
lent cypress,
All kinds Of prodnce common to
the South does well here on the land,
while it is fresh, and il requires but
little labor to keep the soil productive
and even to improve IL This can be
done by cultivation alone. The rea-
son that farming has proved less re-
muneratiye here is apparant; so many
of the settlers have been unstable
that is moving and changing-that
the fsw small farms are very old, con
tinually changing hands, alternately
lying out and being badly plowed
again growing up with grass, being
burnt off, and so on.
Yours truly, SCRAP.

The nigger stood In the cotton patch,
Whence all but him had fed
The whiffie-tree and traces flew
In circles round his head,
Yet greasy, slick and black he stood,
As born TO rule the storm,
A negro of the blaekest blood
A rough, ungainly form.
The mule kicked on he would not go
Without his masters word /;
The master in the grass lay low,
His voice no longer heard.
He called aloud ..say, massa, say,
mus dis mule let go ~
And the master tremhled as he lay,
And the nigger hollered, "Whoa Y
''SnealS, massa p once again he cried,
''If may yet be gone ~
Naught but the whistling hoofs replied,
As fast the mule kicked on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath,
And in his kinky hair;
He looked from that lone post OF death
In still, yet brave, despair.
He shouted but once more aloud,
''My golly mus | stay ?"
While o'er him fast dusty cloud
In billows made Its way.
1t hid the nigger from our view
And filed his shinny eye,
And rose above the cotton, too,
Like clouds across the sky.
There came at last one monstrous kick,
The nigger, oh where was he
Ask of those heels that few so thick,
Alas could not see.
The work-hands all returned at last
The mule could not be found
Death held that nigger in his grip,
Half buried In the ground.
